I KEROSENE-BURNEB.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 23, 1915.

Application filed February 7, 1914. Serial No. 817,174.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM D. PATTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas, and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. Kerosene Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a new and useful kerosene burner, and its object is to pro vide a burner using kerosene as its fuel, that will derive the highest efficiency from said fuel, creating a large amount of heat, and making the burner equally serviceable either in a heating or coo-king stove.

It is another object of the invention to provide a burner of the character described that may be readily introduced into the fire boxes of stoves previously employing either wood or coal as their fuel, requiring no exit pensive alteration in the stoves.

A further object of the invention is to provide a burner employing kerosene as its fuel, that will be equipped with means for accurately regulating the discharge of the fuel to a feed pipe above the burner in which pipe the liquid fuel will be vaporized, means being also provided to regulate the escape of the vaporized fuel to the burner proper.

Finally the object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described, that will be strong, durable, simple and efficient, and comparatively easy to construct, and also one the various parts of which will not be likely to get out of working order.

With these and various other objects in view, my invention has relation to certain novel features of the construction and operatio-n, an example of which is described in the following specification and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a front view showing my novel. burner installed in a heating stove adapted to be manufactured in small sizes. Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the needle valve controlling the discharge of fuel into the burner proper. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of the feed pipe, the section being taken upon the line w-00 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is a front view showing my burner installed in a cooking stove and slightly modified in its construction to adapt it to such a stove. Fig. 5 is a view of the same in side elevation. Fig. 6 is a top view of the same. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view of abranch pipe which projects from the main burner pipe in the modified form of my invention, the section'being taken, upon the line y-y of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a detail sectional view of the main burner pipe, the section being taken upon the line 2-2 of Fig. 6. Fig. 9 is a detail sectional view of the air mixer which is correlated with my burner. 10 is a view of the same in end elevation.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate similar parts in all the figures, the numeral 1 denotes a rectangular sheet metal casing, which has formed in its front wall a large window covered by a sheet of isinglass or mica 2, which is held in place by a metal grill 3.

A pipe 4 serves to conduct kerosene to my burner from some suitable reservoir (not shown). The pipe 1 has communication through a needle valve 5 with a horizontal pipe 6 passing through the casing 1 and mounted in the end walls thereof. The valve 5 is disposed exterior to the casing 1 and preferably adjacent thereto. Within the casing 1, the pipe 6 is formed with a coil 7, the axis of which coil will preferably be vertical. That portion of the pipe 6 through which the kerosene must pass just before reaching the coil 7 is packed with wire as indicated at 7 in Fig. 3. At the opposite side of the casing 1 to that at which the valve 5 is disposed, the pipe 6 is bent downwardly into communication with a needle valve 8, which regulates the flow of fuel from the pipe 6 into a horizontal burner pipe 9 mounted beneath the pipe 6 in the bottom portion of the casing 1, and supported at its extremities by the end walls of said casing. The pipe 9 is formed with one or more rows of upwardly directed discharge orifices 9*, and said pipe will preferably have a diameter considerably greater than that of the feed pipe 6. The pipe 6 has an extremity projecting slightly below the valve 8, said extremity being closed and exteriorly threaded to engage in an interiorly threaded collar 10 centrally formed in a cup 10*, and supported by the described screw-threaded engagement upon the pipe 6.

An explanation will now be given as to the operation of the above described burner. To start the same a small quantity of alcohol or gasolene or some other inflammable liquid will be poured into the cup 10, and the. valve 5 will be opened sufficiently to Fig.

willdischarge through the orifices 9 may be gnited.

3 now be increased, through the wire 1 said pipe will be allow a small quantity of kerosene to accumulate at the bottom end of the, pipe 6 just above the cup 10 The contents of said cup are now ignited and the combustion of the same will heat the kerosene in the bot; tom portion of the pipe 6 sufliciently to vaporize the'same. The valve 8 is now'partially opened allowing the vaporized fuel to escape into the burner pipe whence it and By adjusting the valve5, of fiuid through the pipe 6 will and as this fluidpasses packing '7 (which has been heated by the flame from the burner) it will become vaporized and will reach the burner pipe'9- throughthe valve 8 in a gaseous form As long as the burner remains in operation, its flame will continue to heat the pipe G'and especially that pertionof said pipe whichis packed with wire, and consequently the liquid feeding through vaporized. That portion of the pipe 6 which is packed with wire serves as a generating chamber, and the coil 7 heats the vaporized fuel still further, so that the gas when discharged into the burner pipe'is strongly combustible owing to the fact that it is thoroughly vaporized and highly heated. Between the valve 8 and the burner pipe 9, there is interposed an air mixer 11, which'is mounted in the T end wall of the casing 1 to which said valve a pipe serving to pipe 17 is bentdown 8 is adjacent. Thus the gas which finally burner plpe 1s L'II11XtL1Te of vaporized-kerosene and alr,

the amount of air being regulated to secure the greatest possible efiiciency in the fuel.

' In that modified from of my invention which is illustrated in Figs. 1 to 10 inclusive, the numeral 12 designates the rectangular easing of a cooking stove, and 13 is conduct the kerosene from a reservoir (not shown) as before. The pipe 13 communicates through a needle valve 14 with a pipe 15 extending into the upper portion of the'stove 12. After ex- 1 tending into the center portion of the stove, thepipe 15 extends downward in a spiral as indicated at 16 and is then again extended out of the stove beneath the pipe 15 as indicated at '17. Exterior to the stove, the and communicates witha needle valve 18, through which the fuel may be: discharged intoa burner pipe 19 mounted within the stove in the-fire box thereof'and disposed parallel tothe pipes 15 and 17. A's-before thepipe 19 will have a diameter much greater than its correlated'feed pipe, and will be provided with one or more rows of upwardly discharging orifices 19?." 7 From the center of the pipe 19 there branches a supplementary pipe 20,

Copies of this patentmay be obtained for tance extends portion of such cooking stoves.

which after projecting upward a short disrearwardly above the oven which is customarily provided in the rear The pipe 20 is provided at each of its sides with a row of discharge orifices indicated by the numeral 21. Between the valve 18 and the burner pipe 19 there is interposed an air mixer designated by the numeral 22, which air mixer will be similar to that embodied in the first described form of the invention. As in the first form of my burner, the pipe 15 adjacent to the coil 16 will be packed with wire, this portion of the pipe serving as a gas generating chamber. Also in the modification of my invention there will be provided a cup beneath the valve 18 in which some inflammable fluid will be poured to start the vaporization of the kerosene. lV hen this form of the burner is in operation, the flame escaping up from the burner pipe 19 will heat the front portion of the stove, and the flame escaping laterally from the supplementary pipe 20 will heat the oven and the rear portion of the stove top.

The invention is presented as includmg all such modifications and changes as properly come within the scope of the following claims.

What I claim is:

1. A kerosene burner comprising a horizontally disposed main burner member provided with a row of discharge openings in its top, a branch burner member communicating with the main burner member and above the same, the branch member being provided with discharge orifices, a feed pipe extending from the main burner member and having a coiled portion, a needle valve establishing communication between the feed pipe and main burner member, and a needle valve controlling the flow of fuel to said feed pipe.

A kerosene burner comprising a horiz ntally disposed pipe provided with a row of discharge orifices in its top, a branch pipe centrally communicating with the main burner pipe and perpendicular to the same, the branch pipe being provided with a row of discharge orifices at each side, a feed pipe extending above the main. burner pipe and having a coiled portion, a needle valve establishing communication between the feed pipe and the main burner pipe, and a needle valve controlling the flow of fuel to the feed pipe.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
